400 Year old Airstream??
Did Wally Byam invent the Airsteam or just re-use a 400 year old idea and put wheels on it? The picture was taken in Jamestown, VA during the their 400 year party. I'd hate to try and polish that one.

The sections are held together with deer bones, thus the first use of "Buck" rivets.

Yes, Jamestown was an English colony, so the door is on the correct side.

Yes, but is it all original and is it the original owner?

I think it definately needs a new axle...but the real question is, can it be polished?
